I'm among the people that couldn't tell the difference between a digital photo and film.
I was going to say that film is taking the actual light (scene) directly through a lens and "recording" it without "translation" by a CCD or whatever they're using today but since the emulsion of the famed kodachrome is a translation (chemical vs digital) anyway there really is no reason digital captures cannot meet or exceed film standards if not now probably soon. ;-)

The main difference is pixel size- with film it's almost at the molecular level. Digital will probably get there but it's still a long way off.
